While working on earning my National Association of Realtors Green Designation, I learned about something called HERS (Home Energy Rating System), and how it can be determined by a Home Energy Evaluation. This intrigued me because I have some areas in my home that are "hot spots" during the summer months and I knew was affecting my utility bills.
I had the Evaluation done and I am looking forward to the printed results. As it was, it was amazing to see them use a special infrared camera that identified the areas where heat was coming into the house. What an eye opener.
Stay tuned for the results and the energy savings that can be achieved with some simple "fixes".
